I'm having trouble configuring a new mail server to use SMTP AUTH and
can't seem to find any decent documentation on it.
I have no choice but to use Postgres as the management system uses it. I
have to use SMTP AUTH because the server is a relay for all hosted
domains. Customers must be able to send mail using the server, but it
must remain secure from being an open relay.
I have compiled and installed Postfix with Postgres and SASL support. I
have compiled and installed Cyrus SASL with Postgres support (at least I
think I did that part correctly). When I try to send mail, I get this
error in /var/log/maillog when my e-mail client attempts to authenticate:
Mar 26 03:02:46 mail1 postfix/smtpd[10987]: connect from
ip68-7-51-89.sd.sd.cox.net[68.7.51.89]
Mar 26 03:03:11 mail1 postfix/smtpd[10987]: warning: SASL authentication
failure: Password verification failed
Mar 26 03:03:11 mail1 postfix/smtpd[10987]: warning:
ip68-7-51-89.sd.sd.cox.net[68.7.51.89]: SASL PLAIN authentication
failed: authentication failure
Mar 26 03:03:12 mail1 postfix/smtpd[10987]: warning:
ip68-7-51-89.sd.sd.cox.net[68.7.51.89]: SASL LOGIN authentication
failed: authentication failure
Does anyone know of any documentation covering this specific subject? Am
I the only one on the planet trying to use Postfix+Cyrus SASL+Postgres
for SMTP AUTH?
(Note: I have Postfix verifying virtual domains and addresses for
incoming mail from the Postgres database.)
